Woooow. Both are fabulous in their own way.

I like there.
The darkness of the 1st photo with the light shining through the spines of the cactus makes it special.

Cornflake

Cristobal, Denise, thanks.

Richard

Love the second one.

Cornflake

Thanks, Richard. I sat on the second one for a while because I wasn't sure what I thought of it.

Second shot is wonderful and mysterious! I do wish the light on the tall one on the left did not get cut off. I would try to brighten it or extract light to take it all the way to the top. Cheers.

Cornflake

That makes sense, Taz. I'll try it. Thanks.

Nice, Don. The back lighting in that first one is quite dramatic.

Cornflake

Thanks, Tom. I've taken many photos of backlighted cholla but this probably comes closer to what I've been after than any of the others.

El Gato

Both are very well done. #2 is my favorite. What do you think of trying this one in BW? Just a thought from a diehard BW fan.

Cornflake

El Gato, I had the same thought and tried it. It didn't work as well for me. Thanks.
